Satisfaction conditions: Models or predicates can be satisfied (by objects). E.G., "green" is satisfied by grass. Satisfaction is needed to define truth. See also Truth definition, Satisfaction.

John R. Searle on Conditions of Satisfaction - Dictionary of Arguments

II 87
Truth Conditions/Searle: example x sees a yellow station wagon.
The truth terms are:
(a) certain conditions of satisfaction,
(b) certain phenomenal characteristics of the experience.
The conditions of performance are:
that there is a yellow station wagon and that this station wagon causes the experience.
The phenomenal characteristics:
determine the satisfaction conditions. (So the experience determines these conditions.)
>Truth condition
, >Experience, >Satisfaction, >Satisfiability.
II 89
Twin Earth/particularity/satisfaction conditions/Searle: e.g. what if the content of Bill's visual experience is decisive for the fact that the presence of Sally (and not of twin Sally) is one of the satisfaction conditions of his experience?
>Twin earth.
How can qualitatively identical visual experiences have different particulate satisfaction conditions?
It is not the question of how to determine that. Rather, what is decisive about the experience here on earth is that it can only be fulfilled by a special, previously identified woman. (It does not matter whether one can determine this or not).
II 105
Apparent paradox:
Conditions of performance/house/house façade/Searle: if the conditions of performance of the experience in the case of the house differ from those in the case of the façade and if these conditions are determined by different experiences, then gradually the impression arises as if almost every quality could be the condition of performance of a visual experience.
>Barn facades/Goldman, >Causal theory of Knowledge.
We not only say "it looks like a house" but also "he looks drunk" or "he looks intelligent".
>">Appearance.
II 106
The characteristics themselves seem to entail very strict conditions for what can occur as conditions for the fulfilment of visual experiences.
It is hard to believe that characteristics such as intelligence should be able to play a causal role in a visual experience.
Searle: but according to my theory it should actually be like this.
Solution: we need to distinguish between two types of properties:
(a) those that are decided by looking, and
(b) those requiring further testing.
II 107
Features: looking intelligent is in a way independent of intelligence that looking red is not independent of being red.
>Properties/Searle.
